Hamas, Fatah slam Zionist offensive on Gaza

AVA- Hamas on Saturday said the Palestinian resistance will not allow the Zionist occupation to attack the Palestinian people in the Hamas-run Gaza strip.
“The resistance’s response [to Israeli raids] carries a message to the enemy [Israel] that it is here” and will not allow Israel to attack our people, Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif al-Qanoua said in a statement.
For its part, the Fatah movement called on the international community to put an end to the "Zionist aggression" on the Gaza Strip.
In a Saturday statement, Fatah held the Zionist government responsible for the military escalation as well as “the war crimes committed by the occupation army against innocent Palestinian civilians."
"These crimes will not go unpunished and prosecuted," Fatah said.
Zionist raids on Saturday targeted several parts of the blockaded Gaza strip, martyring one Palestinian and leaving seven wounded. Palestinian factions, meanwhile, fired dozens of rockets at Zionist settlements adjacent to the strip.
The escalation started when four Palestinians were martyred and 51 wounded on Friday in Zionist army attacks on Hamas-affiliated sites and a separate Zionist attack on a Palestinian rally against the decade-long occupation and siege of the Gaza strip.
